TOASTER.

SPECIPICATION'forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 373,276, dated November 15, 1887. Application filed April 25, 1887. Serial No. 236,100. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIA A. DOWNEY, of Oberlin, in the county of Lorain and Stateof Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Toaster, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a toaster for gasoline-stoves which shall be simple in construction and effective in operation, preventing the gases from thepfiame of the stove from injuriously affecting the bread being toasted.

The invention consists of a toasting-plate provided with a suitable handle, and which has hinged to it a wire frame, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying steel and of a size to fit the opening in the top of a gasoline-stove, is fornied with an upturned rear end, I), and is provided with a suitable handle, 0. Hinged to the upturned rear end,

I), of the plate a is awire frame, 01, of approximately the same size as the said plate. The wire frame (2 is hinged to the plate a by rings 0, that encircle the rear Wire of said frame and end of plate a.

The wire frame consists of the outer rectangularly-bent wire,f, and the wires 9, that extend from the front to rear of the frame, theirends-being bent around the rectangular wire f. A catch, h, at the front of plate a, serves to hold thefralne d down on the same.

The toaster is placed in the opening in a gasoline-stove, the toastingplate a being lowermost, and the bread to be toasted is placed on the wire frame d, whereby the bread will be toasted without the gases from the flame coming in contact therewith, and without being burned by contacting with the plate a.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The toasting-plate 11, having an upturned rear end, 6, and a suitable handle, 0, in combination with the wire framed, hinged to the upturned rear end of said plate by means of hinges e, and a catch, h, substantially as shown and described.
